This study guide deals with the application of thermodynamics to the
description of the properties of materials. It covers the qualitative
behavior of single and multicomponent mixtures, including
vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid phase equilibria. It
also explains the use of activity coefficient models and equations of
state for the quantitative prediction of phase behavior and chemical
reaction equilibria. The guide assumes a prior basic understanding of
first and second laws of thermodynamics and multivariate calculus.
